Or in this case, my dad in his shop.



He just installed new lighting and wanted a photo to send to the manufacturer who had requested it, so I dug out my 6D with a 17-40 zoom and did a panorama of three photos and stitched/cropped them in Photoshop.

Unfortunately he had turned off the light behind the drill press, so I had to re-shoot it for the third time and he wasn't sitting there. Still, my wife thought it would make for an excellent jigsaw puzzle, so we may get one custom made.

Not visible: table saw behind the table and under the drawers of the back wall, a router under the cabinets of the left workspace, a band saw, and an innumerable amount of hand tools. The air compressor is outside of the shop but piped in. The shop has evolved over a period of more than 50 years of customization.

Great shot! He looks quite at home among his tools there.

My 'shop' is a shambles, and makes me sort of a black sheep of the family. My great-grandfather was a wheelwright, my grandfather an Industrial Arts (shop) teacher (as well as an accomplished blacksmith himself), and my dad, though not as artsy in his work, had a nice selection of tools and machines in his work area.

Now THAT's a shop.

A jigsaw puzzle would allow for fun conversations for people to have with &/or about your dad: have you seen my face? here's your foot! etc.
